I laughed at it too. I didn't think about the gender.
Remember that your first Goomba boldly you walk? When Mario touched that mushroom being brought up more largely remember that you are surprised? Miscalculate your jump that pit remember that it falls?

Did anyone else notice how my post in the sister thread included barely any shows? That's where I come in here.
Yes, most TV is crap. Reality TV is NOT reality, it's marketing. American Idol became a telethon last season (actually, this can be a point to support the previous sentence and the sentence before it.) Also, any other talent show on television right now came straight from American Idol. America's Got Talent: three judges, one girl, one judge very strict (and he even said, "off you go," which is a trademark statement by Simon Cowell.)
There is no good TV anymore. TV died around 2003 when all of the great shows from the 90s were canceled (Space Ghost Coast to Coast, Dexter's Laboratory, the old Simpsons, Powerpuff Girls, old Spongebob, etc.)

And for inaccuracy too, maybe?
The current Doctor Who series for the win. And also Smallville isn't half bad these days. All the shows Mr. Melee listed are comedy cartoons. There are a lot more kinds of shows besides those. The truth is, there has always been a pitifully small amount of good television. Saying it "died" because the few shows you liked (not much variety to them anyway, apparently) changed or stopped is just plain illogical. You sound like this guy I have to hear at work complaining about how the only good music ever produced on Earth was mainstream rock and pop from the mid '60s to the mid '80s. In other words, completely ridiculous and baseless!

I'd also like to say that cancelling Powerpuff Girls and Dexter at that point was a good move, because those two shows were already being dragged through the dirt in that time.

There's also the fact that people overlook great shows like the already ranted about Veronica Mars and Arrested Development.
As a game that requires six friends, an HDTV, and skill, I can see why the majority of TMK is going to hate on it hard.

True, Mr. Wiggles, the new episodes of PPG and Dexter sucked, they changed the art design and the personalites of some char's, but the oldies rock.
Just because you can, doesn't mean you should.

I'm more mad that they don't show reruns of the old episodes on CN.  And I don't get Boomerang anymore. :(

Sorry Mr. Wiggles, already married, to Veronica Mars. But I understand how you feel. VM was the best show ever IMO. It still make me really sad that it's canceled... :(

See, I admire all of those that find the weirdest or most unpopular shows/music/people/etc. and realize their greatness, such as Space Ghost: Coast to Coast, Buckethead, and Dragonforce. Space Ghost had out-of-place humor, and that made it great to me; it could also be characterized as "so bad it's awesome." Buckethead is just...wow. He's so good he doesn't need any singers, and he could play with no one behind him and A-M-A-Z-E everyone. He's just so great, and if you get past the weirdness, you realize he's just a guy putting on a show. Lastly, I'm not sure how popular Dragonforce is, but to me, they're awesome. Their guitarists are incredible, being able to play so fast for so long (their songs are an average of 7 min., and they are the fastest guitar players ever (or at least I've heard)) The vocals may be a bit corny, but they amplify the song, and so do the keyboards (and what's cooler than a keyboard that looks like a guitar?)

My final point is that I have respect for weirdness, as I am one of the weird. I could probably hang out with Les Claypool, and we'd be friends in a few minutes. Weirdness also expresses originality, and I love to be myself. So, praise be to those who only want to be themselves.

Sorry that I got off-topic. Perhaps I could get back on with the topic of The Price is Right (even though TPiR was a great television show.) Does anyone else think that Rosie O'Donnell is NOT the host for The Price is Right (you know, not right for the job?) I'm not saying this because of her preference of types, but I truly think she'd not be a very good host for The Price is Right. There is a possibility it could go down well, though, and Bob Barker says that she "has it." However, I would rather see someone like the host of The Match Game on The Price is Right, Gene Rayburn (unfortunately, he's dead XO.) What do you guys think?
